# Solana Validator Manager
### Automatically bootstrap a Solana validator node, optimize its performance, and connect the node to a monitoring dashboard
[Solana](https://solana.com/) is a fast, secure, and censorship-resistant blockchain providing open infrastructure necessary for global adoption.
In order to run, the Solana blockchain requires a decentralized network comprising computing resources to validate transactions as well as storage for ledger redundancy.
The computer resources are provided by validators who need to maintain high-performance Linux nodes.
There are now two Solana clusters, [Mainnet-Beta](https://explorer.solana.com/) and [Testnet](https://explorer.solana.com/?cluster=testnet).
The Mainnet-Beta cluster is maintained by ~700 validators, and the Testnet cluster by ~1700 more validators.
Most of the people running these just bootstrap their nodes manually, referring to the Solana docs or similar community guides. Apparently, there are no 2 identical setups across these 2400 validators.
As a result, it is virtually impossible to support validators having issues with their nodes and/or help them improve their node, thus contributing to the overall cluster performance.
What we would like to do is provide a toolkit to help validators bootstrap and maintain their nodes in a uniform, consistent way.
The Ansible scripts we have created for this purpose are a compilation of best practices and community guidelines.
Please use them, enjoy them, and improve them.
### Quick Install
* Log in to your server
* Create the key pair file (you can also upload it via scp if you prefer):
````shell
nano ~/validator-keypair.json
````
Paste your key pair, save the file (ctrl-O) and exit (ctrl-X).
If you have a *vote account* key pair, create the key pair file (or upload it via scp):
````shell
nano ~/vote-account-keypair.json
````
Paste your key pair, save the file (ctrl-O) and exit (ctrl-X).
* Run this command…
````shell
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mfactory-lab/sv-manager/latest/install/install_validator.sh)"
````
…and follow the wizard’s instructions (__enter your own Node name!__):
That's it, you are all set!
### How to update validator
````shell
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mfactory-lab/sv-manager/latest/install/update_test_validator_version.sh)" --version 1.14.2
````
### how to update monitoring
````shell
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mfactory-lab/sv-manager/latest/install/update_monitoring.sh)"
````
